Am I the only one constantly checking Walgreens for Agent Venom? I've become a little obsessed, I see a Walgreen's, I stop!

Hello Walgreens my old friend... I've come to shop at you again.

I'm right there with you. There's six of them spread out all over my town. It's become a huge pain in the butt.

No, I've thought about it and then I keep going laugh.png I've been fortunate and found a couple for myself, plus a few more for friends in the UK and a person down in Mexico. Ended up sending his to Texas to save him on shipping, but I think I'm done unless someone else needs my help. Where are you two located? I've heard they are slowly making it to the east coast and should be hitting this week. If you need any assistance hit me up before I leave for vacation on Friday.

You totally are not. I was getting a little crazy there for a while. Fortunately for me, I found Venom last weekend in my hometown of all places (right after I left a WalMart that was stocked with a Nova and a Black Cat, no less!).

Keep the faith though! I hear that the street date is September 1, so hopefully they'll be plentiful for you next week.

I'm in CA and I know they are showing up here I just can't seem to find a Walgreen's in my town that has put them out. I have two on pre-order but with no clue as to when it's supposed to be fulfilled I would like to get one in my hands as a back up.

I'm sorry Lokash, I know California can be rough for collecting, depending on the area you live in. My advice, talk to the manager or an employee. Most of them know about it, or saw them in the back storeroom. The last time I looked for them I approached the beauty counter associate. I had the picture (recommended) and SKU/UPC (6 30509 24771 4) on my phone. When I popped up the phone she remembered seeing it in the back. It comes in a shipper of 8 for those who don't know. She popped open the door and brought it out for me to find the two best paint applications. Which for me is the only downfall. The figure is great, but suffers from the same affliction that Boomerang had, poor paint job on the white sections. Don't just look at the symbol or the eyes, look at the leg stripes too. Other than that, a really fun character. I kind of wish they'd have thrown in a unmasked head into the mix, but I'll probably get a customizer to do that for me. Anyway, I'm actually heading out to do a little hunting while the mrs. and son go shoe shopping. So hit me up in the next hour if you need any assistance with anything.

OK, now I'm going to bust your stones a bit TENIME...You might as well as for a Ares BAF at this point. Because both are incredibly sought after and hard to find without giving up a kings ransom. Especially now that Ronan was featured in GOTG. Might be best to wait a bit and see if the price or demand drops.



Oh, and has anyone tried ordering the A.I.M. and Hydra soldiers throught their LCBS's? Might be worth a shot. I picked up 2 Hydra army builders today at a shop. I need to check my count and try and order them myself.

Um, I prefer steller biggrin.png Seriously, I'll keep an eye out for you or you could try ordering it from your local comic shop. Yes, they are a bit over retail, but it is easier than trying to track one down. I'm trying to build a squad of escorts for M.O.D.O.K. Baron Von Strucker. So I'm keeping mine. Sorry.

Case came in. I really love all of these figures.

I traded Puck away already, and within the next week I'm going to trade the two Cyclopses for an Infinite Magneto and Jubilees arm. I'll probably buy it again.

I don't understand why this Sabretooth shelfwarms in comic shops. The head sculpt is great and I love the Hyperion body, even with the wierd costume it's still Sabretooth. Is he not cool anymore? I don't understand kids.

Wolverine is also great, I gave my nephew one and hope he enjoys it. I gave him Sabretooth as well since I wont ever be able to sell it. Oh, and because if I spent $180 on toys and didn't give him any I'd be a dick. I'm still sitting on a MOC Wolverine.

Emma ended up being $80 basically, but she is far and away my favorite. So much better than the first one, I just need to whip up a cape. I know how to sew, so I don't have to buy the terrible first figure just for that part of it, and it will probably end up looking better.

I'm waiting on Hope, Mystique, Unmasked Daken, TRU Cyclops/Storm/Magneto and all of their Jubilee parts in the mail. I'm so glad I am collecting these now, I don't have to lie to myself about how bad I want them anymore haha.

Lol, hey, I've been looking for a complete Ares since that wave was live in stores! I have a few pieces, but wasn't able to finish him. T_T

And why do you think I want a Ronan? tongue.png

I hear you, I'm starting to lose my geek cred. I still haven't seen GotG and who knows when I will? I'm heading to Disneyland tomorrow for a week and by the time I get back it probaby won't be in theaters anymore confused.gif Those are some nice figures minijames. I kind of skipped over the Puck wave, although I loved the old Alpha Flight series from the 80's.That Archangel is nice. Too bad they didn't do a unmasked head too. I've seen some nice customs of Warren though.

Might still be playing in the Captain E-O theater in the park; plus the theater at Downtown Disney. If you can make the time.

I'm from Los Alamitos, right down the street (Katella) from Disneyland and you should check out some of the toy shops around Anaheim because there are quite a few. The corner of Beach/Ball has like 4 toy shops, My-D Pins & Collectibles being the best for ML. Phat Collectibles on Ball/Euclid is good too, just more pricey.
